"I just felt like when I took my visit here in Philadelphia it kind of fit me. I'm excited to be an Eagle," said Jones. "I was trying to really see what's out there. When I visited the Eagles, I got to know the coaches and figured out the system and how things are going to be going. I liked it. I felt like it fit me."

And a few of you are missing the point as to WHY Dallas is so happy. It has little to do with the fact he was a bust - hell a 3rd RB for you isn't bad on the cheap side. But it has EVERYTHING to do with the fact that now Dallas has zero chance of re-signing him.

Happy, happy days!

One man's trash is another mans treasure sometimes. As happy as you are he won't be a Cowboy pail's in comparison to the happiness we as eagles fans have had watching Dallas waste a 1st rd pick and the past 5 years trying to make it work. Felix is a Camp body with the opportunity to push Polk/Masonett for a spot. That alone was worth the signing so neither player could assume anything or get comfortable. If Kelly truely believes in competition this signing should surprise no one. Will I be surprised he makes the roster if 4 RB's are kept, no because of his ST abilities. Will I be surprised if the Eagles keep 3 RB's and he is one of them, absolutely. Keep drafting Jerry, keep drafting!_________________17' Bird Watch: QB Carson Wentz: 318Att//61% Comp//2430 Yds//25 TD//5 INT//224 Rush yds//QBR 103.4

While we're speaking about McNutt, he's someone I really believed could catch on as a #4-#5 WR here in Philly; I really liked him in college. Oh well, I'm interested to see if he ends up anywhere else._________________

Last year the Eagles ran 67 plays a game. That breakdown might go like this. Shady was the RB for 50. Brown for 10. The other 7 would be empty sets or some odd formation with a WR in the backfield.

Kelly hopes to run 75 to 80 plays a game. He might have Shady on the field for 45 snaps, the backup 20, and the #3 RB for 10. These are just guesstimates, but it gives you an idea of how things will be different.
